24th November - Law News

1064th Edition: LawNewsIndex is a UK based Law, Justice, Legislation & Rights related daily news & legal articles archive brought to you by TheLawMap


FOCUS OF THE DAY: The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) failed to think through the impact of its legal aid reforms on the wider system and does not know whether people who are eligible for legal aid are able to get it, a devastating report by the National Audit Office (NAO) has warned. Its report, Implementing reforms to civil legal aid, notes that fees for legal aid lawyers were reduced “without a robust understanding of how this would affect the market”, and its monitoring has been “limited”. NAO analysis showed that in 14 local authorities no providers started any face-to-face legal aid funded work during 2013-14, raising the question of whether funding is being targeted at those most in need.

This weekend's Saturday Law Interview features Law Lecturer Craig Newbury-Jones from Plymouth University law School: 'Craig Newbery-Jones is fascinated with the depiction of the lawyer in the 19th century legal press and how the debates on regulation bore resemblance to the undertones of contemporary debates on regulation of the legal profession.

FOCUS OF THE DAY: The government is to look further into simplifying the system of alternative dispute resolution for consumers. Responding to a consultation on a European ADR directive, which it has to transpose into national law by 9 July 2015, the Department for Business Innovation & Skills (BIS) said the current ADR landscape in the UK was ‘complex’. With more than 70 different ADR schemes operated by a range of providers, the department said some consumers find their dispute may be covered by multiple providers and it is not always clear who to go to for help.
